I'm not even half way through this movie yet, as I had to pause it to get some sleep. This movie presented an interesting theory and possible theological debate. From what I gather so far (I might be wrong) is that in the garden of Eden, there were apparently two trees. The tree of life and the tree of knowledge. We all know the forbidden fruit story of the second tree. The Fountain seems to be trying to either take a guess at ...or have actually researched ...the story of the first tree. It says that like the second tree, the tree of life had something tempting to take as well. That being its sap. If you drunk the sap of the first tree, it would give you eternal life. When the Garden was closed, it's said that the tree of life was hidden by the Lord. In The Fountain, the tree is found. Eternal life is not going up to heaven, but staying forever in your fleshly body (at least from what I gather of the movie so far) Wikipedia wasn't much help. Wiki Entry If any of you have seen The Fountain, please feel free to correct me on anything.
Discuss: Do you take the Bible's stories literally, or do you think they're just tales to promote spiritual goodness?
Do you believe the tree of life still exists? Is this just something completely made up by the makers of The Fountain?
If you answered yes to the first part of the last question, do you think the tree is something that can be found?
Would staying forever in your present body be a blessing, or a curse?
